Despite it being late in the year and FLOWERs not necessarily being in abundance this time of year, FLOWER ended up fueling the creative fires of quite a few people.
But you didn’t come here to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates. You came to see the submissions:

But enough dwelling on the past. Time to look to the future. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future! This week’s theme:
![WEEK 317 - TIME](https://photos.smugmug.com/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGES/WEEKLY-PHOTO-CHALLENGE-YEAR-8/i-HDz3hhQ/0/2d1358af/X2/317_AA_TIME-X2.jpg)
TIME
TIME! What a great theme for Year 8 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE!
But what is exactly a TIME photo? In a way, all images are a TIME photo because all pictures record a little slice of TIME that will never ever happen again. Your challenge is to figure out how to capture that slice of TIME. Will you use a quick shutter speed to freeze TIME? Will you use a slow shutter speed to make TIME seem more fluid? Will you be more literal and like the theme reveal image take a picture of a TIME recording device?
While thinking on making your TIME image, meditate on the following quote:
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
RULES
The picture has to be taken between 12:01 PM today and 11 AM next Monday. This isn’t a curate your photos project. This is a get your butt off the couch (unless you are taking your picture from the couch) and take pictures challenge.
You can send your images to either bennett@photography139.com OR you may text them to my Pixel 5.
That is all I got, so if the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, we will all be sharing our idea of TIME in this place that is little more than a shadow of my time next Monday.
